Ronald W Capers Wilderness Park

April is alive with the stirring of spring in Ronald W. Caspers Wilderness Park. You can see it in painted lady butterflies dancing among the sweet peas, taste it in the lemonade berries in bushes along the trail and hear it in the beehives among the sycamores and oaks. "Listen," said park ranger Stan Bengtson, pausing Thursday under a canopy of California live oak. "Hear that hum? That's the sound of thousands of bees." But this April carries promises like few in recent memory, Bengtson said.
